Last Will And Testameet (Beulah Mae Inskeep) E, the Class of 1932, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, and we do hereby make the following bequests: Item: To the faculty who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams; also all the amazing knowledge and startling infor- mation that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Item: To our superintendent, Mr. Hen- drick, a bunch of forget-me-nots, so that when teachers are needed, the class of ’32 may be remembered. Item: To the Junior Class our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all its seriousness and gravity. Item: To this same Junior Class, San- ford Nelson’s unbounded knowledge on all subjects. We trust the class may be able to survive it. To Glassell Stringfellow, Lillian Bickers’ gift of gab. To Nancy Jones, Letitia Nelson’s flir- tatious personality. To George Beattie, the example of all the members of this class ; namely, the Seniors’ ability to keep quiet on all occasions. To anybody who needs it, Garnett Bruce’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. To Judson Miller, the pictures of all the pretty girls in the graduating class. Item: To the Sophomore Class, the ability to smile when the teacher says, “Test tomorrow.” Item: To the Freshman Class, our extra quality credits, hoping that they will con- tinue to increase them. Item: To the Pepergram, the spicy bits of gossip which we have kept secret for the past year. Item : To the Junior League, a vote of thanks for their unceasing efforts for the welfare of the school during the past year. Item: To the Dr amatic Club, some time to practice for their rehearsals. Item: To the boys’ baseball team, a next year, a basket twice as large as the present one, hoping they may be able to throw the ball in it occasionally. Item: To the girls basketball team, the balance left in the treasury, as we under- stand they need funds. Item: To the boys’ basketball team, a new score took, since their opponents have filled the old ones. Item: To the girls’ baseball team, new uniforms. Item: To the boys’ football team, the memory of our past defeats as a spur to greater efforts next year. Item : Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will show them the same kindness and at- tention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interest in their at- tempts and success; and the same sorrow when they fail.
